What song, album, artist or band scared you as a little kid? That's the Halloween-themed question I posed on this week's show.
Jim McGuinn and Melanie Walker join me to talk about new releases including the "Twilight: New Moon" soundtrack, The Swell Season's sophomore outing "Strict Joy," and Breakestra's "Dusk 'Til Dawn."
Musicheads airs every Tuesday at 10 p.m. CT on 89.3 The Current.

Hmm, I'll have to think about "a song, album, artist or band" that scared me.
The other one has to be Deep Purple, simply because of "Smoke on the Water." It sent a special chill up my spine, and I was pretty sure it was a Halloween song. Didn't know that they were singing "Montreaux," I was pretty sure it was the British pronunciation of "monster" and his name was Funky Claude who was throwin' kids in the ground. Yikes!
Also, Bill, I got a kick out of the "Troglodyte" and "Bertha Butt" references - those songs are an ongoing joke in my family, but luckily I didn't hear them early enough in life to experience Troglodyte-inspired fear.
Gorgoroth
(npr piece on them
or some of the bands being featured in this upcoming Black Metal documentary.
By the way, maybe it hasn't come into the Current's music library yet, but another SOUNDTRACK that would certainly be worth talking about at some point on the show is Yeah Yeah Yeah's singer Karen O (and Kids) music for "Where the Wild Things Are."
The film is my favorite from 2009 (thus far) and the music certainly had a lot to do with it. Some absolutely gorgeous, acoustic, sing-along music for kids and especially that captures the story/emotional aspects of the movie. I really can't say enough good things about it.
